Again, you gambled and got lucky. How are you not understanding this?
As I stated, long term outcome is the most important factor, not individual results. While the bookies have an edge, at 7/1 I estimate the true odds to be 8/1 (I work on 15% premium). The odds on me not winning after 10 consecutive bets at 8/1 are 25%.
Simply, I am confident that in 10 bets I will generate at least a £260 profit long term. Yes, most matched bets guarantee profits of about £32 so concede I am giving up certain value. But I enjoy the fun and try to bet on things I can research and see if there is further value to be realised.
